McDonald’s said it couldn’t necessarily confirm Vice President Kamala Harris ever took a job at one of its burger joints — but added it was “proud to hear” she had “fond memories” of working there as a teen.
The vice president claimed she worked the cash register and made fries at a Bay Area McDonald’s location during the summer of 1983 while she was on break from pursuing an undergraduate degree at Howard University. Regarding Trump’s surprise stint cooking fries and manning the drive-thru at McDonald’s in Feasterville-Trevose, Pa. on Sunday, the company said that one of its franchisees was approved by local law enforcement.
The carefully worded statement came after left-leaning media wrestled to respond to Trump’s surprise McDonald’s appearance, in which he made small talk with staffers and customers while taking jabs at Harris.
